Frequently Asked Questions
Q: Where are lessons and classes held?
Most programs are held at Potter Park (8587 Potter Park Dr, Sarasota) and Pine View School (1 Python Path, Osprey). Private lessons can also be arranged at partner facilities based on availability.
Q: How do I know which program is right for my child?
Start with age and experience level. New players typically begin in Big Kids (ages 4-6) or Red Rally Club (ages 6-8). If you're unsure, contact Coach Michael for a quick placement call — we'll find the perfect fit.
Q: What's your cancellation policy?
We ask for 24-hour notice for private lessons. Group program members receive one makeup credit per month with appropriate notice. Weather cancellations are always rescheduled or credited automatically.
Q: Do you offer a trial lesson?
Yes! New players can book a single private lesson or drop in to a group class (space permitting) before committing to a package or monthly enrollment. It's the best way to experience our coaching style firsthand.
Q: Do you provide equipment for beginners?
All red and orange ball equipment is provided for younger players, including appropriately sized racquets. For older beginners, we can help you choose the right racquet before you invest.
